HER PERSONAL APPEARANCE.

Miss .Holahan is not a beautiful
woman, nor is she of that robust, vo-
luptuous type of wOmanhoOd to which
Ella Wheeler Wilcox belongs; on the
contrary, she is hardly above medium
height, with a figure slim but full of
grace, well-shaped head set proudly
ON pair of beautifully nodded
shoulders. eyes darkly blue that seem
to interpret the thoughts of the owner
when she becomes engaged in earnest
conversation, a wreath of beautiful hair
bordering on auburn, firmly set lips
that denote character, nose as straight
and perfect as if carven from marble,
and broad, high forehead.
| Miss Holahan was born of Irish par
ents in the unpretentiouS town of Tur-
ner, ILL.,, thirty miles west of Chicago.
The lap in which she was born was not
that Of luxury, her parents possessing
but meager supply of this worlds
goods, and when Martha reached the
age of fifteen she was obliged to
leave school and turn her
talent to her support. Three
years she taught school, as she says,
''more to earn livelihood than because
liked the life. hated it. Ny soul

Asks blue-eyed Belle, as 10 and fro
She rocks, while the joy bells clash and chime;
What did they do in the long ago,
When Christmas came with its snow and rime,

And powder and patches and furbelows
And buckled shoes with the funny toes?"

The all-ruIing power whom some
men call Providence and others Fate is
responsible for some curious and sig
nificant dealings with those with
whom the unthinking world sets down
as fortunes most favorite pets. Here
for instance, is his grace Henry Fitz-
alan Howard, K. G., fifteenth duke Of
Norfolk and hereditary earl marshal
of England, almost fresh from the
grave OF an idolized wife, shedding Bit
ter but unavailing tears over the heir
to his title, now just recovered from
an attack of illness. With an annual
income exceeding $1,3OO,OOO. splen-

and all his advantages, is forbidden

is the poor creature known as the earl
of Arundel ind Surrey. Born eight
years ago, this heir to potential

not all the wealth of England can al

that this wreck OF her hopes FASTENED

Singing Under Fire,
Iouth's Communion.

The northern and southern armies
which fought each other during the
civil war were noted for the hundreds
OF pious men who served as privates
and as officers. Prayer meetings. SER
vices of sacred song, and preaching
abounded, and sometimes the voice oil
the chaplain was lifted up amid the
roar of cannon.
The Rev. J. w. Jones, chaplain in
the army of Northern Virginia, tells Of
religious meeting which was dis
persed by the shells OF the Union army.
Early's brigade was in front OF
Pope's army, and at an intimation
that there would be preaching solid
acre OF eager listeners gathered. An ar.
tillery duel was going on across the
Rappahannock. and now and then
the shrek of shell passing over the
heads OF the congregation mingled
with the service of song.

There was q sudden movement back

the preacher rose, an officer suggested
the suspension Of the service until the
brigade could be moved under the pro.

As the throng moved away, shell

lmprobabIlitIee Sometimes Be-
como Realitles.-A True Woman's
Fidelity.
Several works bearing unique titles,
written in fascinating style, and CIV
ing evidence OF wonderful imaginative
power have lately been received by
the reading public with much popu.
larity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them
is the book bearing the odd title OF
"She." In this the author has fairly
outdone himself in his popular line.
Ayesha and her beloved Kallikrates
are unique characters in fiction.
Ayesha, the heroine, is beautiful
creature who tasted of the essence OF
natures forces at the fountain head,
and became immortal.
Her patient waiting for the coming
OF Kallikrates, the beloved of her
youth, whose Individuality was
maintained through centuries, though
the change called death regularly oc-
Cured, only to be followed by rebirth,
Is a fine illustration of woman's fideli-
ty.
The closing scene, when she conducts
Kallikrates to the very center OF the
earth. the birthplace or all life, in or
der that he may taste ofimmortality,
is q fit climax to the fine creation.
The question naturally suggested by
this strikingly original story is wheth-
er there is not somewhere in nature,
potent force whereby life may at
least be temporarily prolonged.
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, editor
Of "Dress" says: "In every instance
Warmers Safe Cure has the effect to
give new energy and vitality to all my
powers" Nine. Gray, teacher of Ora
tory and Physical Culture at SYRIA
cuse, declares: "Before tried physic-
al culture and Warmers safe cure, /
was a. confirmed invalid. l owe
much to that excellent remedy,
and do not hesitate to acknowledge
it,"
Human life seems too short, though
men in former ages lived longer than
those OF the present. History tells us
that they lived more in accordance
with natures laws-their mode Of liv-
ing was extremely simple, and in their
daily life they followed the dictates OF
human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek
the remedy among the artificial forces
instead OF resorting to the field Of ma
ture.
If when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, for we would
then treat the cause OF such dis
orders. Modern research has shown
that most OF the commonly known
diseases owe their origin to the I'M
healthy state of the kidneys, the
blood purifiers of the system, and il
they are kept in healthy state by
the use Of Warmers safe cure, vege-
table compound and simple produc.
ton of nature, much of the prevailing
sickness would be happily averted.
1t is probable that the author Of
"She'' derived many of his beautiful
imaginings from close communings
with nature, for we are all agreed
that whatever is OF or from nature, is
more beautiful and wholesome, than
that which is artifcially constructed.

Power of a Kind Voice.

From Elihu Burritt.
There is nopower OF love SO hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. It may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work OF q soft heart and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels;
and it is hard to get and keep 1t in
the right tone. One must start in
youth and be on the watch night and
day,at work and play, to get and
keep voice that shall speak at all
times the thoughts of a kind heart.
It's often in youth that one gets a
voice or q tone that is sharp, and
sticks to him through life, and stirs
up i'll will and grief, and falls like q
drop OF gall on thesweet joys Of home.
Watch it day by day as q pearl oil

after that would she consent to 60
away and leave Acton behind.
Alberta's heart was heavy over what
the boy had done. Heretofore she
had felt almost convinced that she
could cure him, for Acton was not
half-witted, nor an imbecile; he talked
nationally enough when he chose, as
it seemed, and his intellect was as
keen as it could be, perhaps. It was
only that he would do strange and
sometimes silly things when the evil
mood was on him.
Alberta sat with him and held his
hand and wept a long time when she
came home and had heard the tale.
Acton looked deeply remorseful and
visible irritation. After that, for
some days, he was as quiet as lamb,
permitting himself no other excite
ment than that of playing on the pi-

Aunt Dicey had christened collective.

Sometimes his tunes were overflow
ing with rollicking gayety; sometimes
they were treighted with signs and
tears. with grief and madness, with the
echo of stifed shrieks and therattle Of

was offered.
